Liberal Faction of Montenegro

The Liberal Faction was an informal grouping of liberal politicians in Montenegro that was active from 1852 to 1918. The faction opposed the Royal Faction of Montenegro and sought to limit the powers of the monarchy with a constitutional monarchy, and to pursue a program of reform. The faction opposed free trade, but it was liberal on all other issues; it supported a deregulated economy, freedom of religion, full citizenship for immigrants, and pacifism. The party focused more on the internal politics of Montenegro than military expansion, earning it the support of businessmen, religious minorities, immigrants, and pacifists.
